Let me make a list for Mayor Bloomberg, to refresh his memory, of things that are Un-American:

Honor killings

Honor “rape”, or just rape in general

Beatings for women going out in public unescorted by a male relative

Not allowing women to go to school, or learn to read

Killing Christians who won’t covert

Killing Jews because they’re, well, Jewish

Refusing to drive a cab for passengers who have an unopened bottle of wine, or a dog

Flying planes full of people into buildings full of people

Suicide bombings

Strapping explosives to women, children, and the mentally retarded – turning them into bombs

Shari’ah law superceding American law

Beheadings, including of journalists like Daniel Pearl.

Burning the bodies of Americans, dragging them through the streets, and then hanging them from a bridge

Promising to drive all the Jews into the sea

Declaring that the Muslim flag will fly over the Whitehouse

Killing and/or threatening to kill people over newspaper cartoons

Cheering in the streets when the towers fell

Screaming ‘Allah Akbar’ and shooting up a room full of unarmed people on an American military base

There are more, but here is my last one: sticking a fork in the eye of the American people by building a huge mosque within spitting distance of and overlooking the pit where buildings once stood and 2,500 people, most American, were murdered by Muslim fanatics on 9/11.

These things alone are reprehensible on their face. They are not a reason to investigate a simple, humble religious building being constructed in Manhattan. That the folks behind the mosque might be funding terrorism is a reason to investigate. That the folks running the mosque may use it to incite more terrorism is a reason to investigate. I’m sorry that the symbolism of the mosque’s size and location are lost on you, Mr. Mayor. I’m pretty sure it isn’t lost on the Muslim world.
